Hi Marco,

really glad to see you back - your CV is impressive, wrt the project
plan - the above can IMO be done quicker, all those slide
transitions are mostly coded individually - so if you can do wipe
up, the other wipes, and push, are like 3 extra hours of work or so.

Those two are not exactly working correctly even in the c++
implementation - fixes there greatly appreciated. I would not mind
to extend these subtasks to multiple weeks. ;)

Spend a week or two on that as well. And we should roll back any
smart idea for the state machine there into c++ land then. :)

I would love that!

So - go ahead with submission. We can always tweak it, even inside
melange.
